Fuck, I am also trained on a set of human derived data and past experiences. What even is intelligence?

Totally agreed; intelligence (IMHO) is all about using pattern matching to model and reason about a domain. Social things like us get some of that acquired pattern matching knowledge from other social things.

I guess the difference is that supervised learning systems can't yet make an autonomous effort to acquire new knowledge from other social things.
